My dad really wanted to name me GloriaLoraine but they ended up using my mom's choice which was CassandraSarah but she wanted me to go by Cassie. If I was a boy I would've been Alexander. I do have a younger brother but my dad got trumped again and my mom named him TimothyAlexander. Personally, I love my name a whole lot more than Gloria.

I would have been either JennaRae or KevinJoel (my brother's name.) I'm KaraYvonne. I've never been very fond of my name, but I don't know what else I could be. I've thought about taking Yvonne and going by Eve, but it doesn't really feel right. Jenna wouldn't have been good either. If my brother would have been a girl, he'd have been Krista.

If I were a boy I would have been DavidJohn. Nothing wrong with it but it's not exactly very interesting. That, and there were three Davids in my primary school class as it was.

My dad vetoed Catherine (after my great-granny) for the first spot but said it could be in the middle. My mum vetoed Elizabeth (her first name, but she goes by her middle) as one of the most common nicknames for it rhymes with the first half of my surname (think MatildaSylvester becoming Tilly Silly). She also vetoed Victoria as she hates the nickname Vicky, as do I. They both loved Hannah though, as do I, despite it's popularity. Though they did think it was fairly unusual at the time.
